It is important to choose the right mattress – as you spend one-third of your life sleeping!

When you choose the right mattress, not only will you wake up feeling more rested and refreshed – it will also help you fall asleep faster, and waking up without any aches and pains.

There are a number of things to consider when buying a new mattress. Here’re some of the things to consider.

• Type of mattress – innerspring, latex, foam
• Feel of the mattress – soft, medium or firm. We recommend medium to soft mattress if you are side sleeper.
• Your body weight – it’s recommended to get a mattress slightly softer for light people
• Budget – what price are willing to put on good night sleep. Around $1000 will get you a good mattress.

Keeping the above in mind, there are many things that you need to consider when buying a new mattress. From your budget, to the type of foam that you want in your home; all factors have an equal part to play in your decision.

From so many choices available in the market, it is recommended that you do thorough research before making up your mind about which type, size and material of mattress is best for you.

While you might be tempted to buy this new latex foam mattress that your friend recently bought, there is one factor that might play a major role in that type of mattress not being suitable for you.

Your sleeping position. Everybody sleeps in a different position and what many people don’t realize is that there are specific mattresses that are suitable for the specific sleeping positions.

So, if you’re a side or back sleeper or if you suffer from any sort of pain in your neck or back, look no further; we have the perfect guide for you. 

Side sleepers

Side sleepers are the more tricky customers to deal with. This is because a side sleeper does not remain in one position throughout the night. The position of the legs is always variable.

This constant change does not allow one sort of mattress to be suitable for all side sleepers. In general, side sleepers are recommended to purchase a mattress that is soft-medium as far as its firmness level is concerned.

It is important to have a light firmness in the mattress because the mattress should be able to conform to the side curves of the sleeper’s body. It cannot do that if it is too firm and that can lead to lack of support for the neck and spine leading to lower back pain. 

Back sleepers

It is extremely crucial for back sleepers to have proper support for all their pressure points. If the mattress is too soft, it will not provide the right sort and amount of push back that is required which can lead to improper spinal alignment.

It is very important for our spine to be fully supported when we sleep in order to prevent the buildup of any sort of lower back, shoulder or neck pain. The recommended mattress for a back sleeper is one that supports the sleeper properly while also has softness to eliminate pressure on crucial points.

If you suffer from back, neck or hip pain

If you already suffer from pain in any part of your spine, it is highly recommended for you to make sure that your spine is properly aligned when you lie down.

You can make sure of this by being aware of your sleeping position and then using the above mentioned recommendations to pick the perfect mattress for you. 

For lower back pain, a medium-firm mattress is advised if you are a back sleeper. For side sleepers that suffer from pain in their lower back or any part of the spine, it is recommended to buy a soft-medium firm mattress in order to make sure that your body is supported and comforted at the same time.
